Upon going through DRIVING section I came across this clear explanation from Chandresh

"Canada recognises only two countries for providing a local driving licence against that countriy's licence - they are USA (obviously) and Japan. All the rest do not have automatic reciprocity. However, that licence can only help you to start at second level instead of first.

Canadian Driving Licence (or atleast Ontario) is a four step procedure. The first is a written test (either paper pencil or on computer - whichever you choose). This is same for beginners or people holding licence of another country. This is called G1 licence. Next, if you have written proof - or actual licence which has been valid for a minimum of two years, you can appear for your road test immediately - however if you do not have that minimum two years experience, you have to wait atlest 8 months to appear for the road test. Passing of that road test gives you G2 licence which has some restrictions (especially relating to alcahol, no of passengers etc.) Then within 5 years after the G2 test, you should clear your Highway Road test or else start all over again. Once you pass this, you get a G licence, which is your permanent licence (I think till the age of 65 or so.....but I do not remember the rule offhand!)

What takes time is to book a date for the road test. As is the situation now, some of the centres in Toronto Area have a waiting period of about 4 months. However, a thing which I came to know very late and would not want you to go thru the same is - driving instructors can arrange these dates much earlier either without payment or with a charge (unofficial) of about C$50!"

Now the qs are

1. Is a new Immigrant having 2 years of driving experience eligible to go directly for the G test ? I think yes .

2. After clearing ur G2 whats the time range that u can take a G test in ?

3. What course can reduce ur Insurance costs ?

This holds true for TD Meloche Monnex which I know they are reducing your insurance if you are member of any of the above list institute.

As far as the knowledge of how the membership is reducing the insurance one has to approach or talk to any official of TD M M, how they are doing it.
